I have clearly angered the Twitter gods. An algorithm seems to be kicking out my followers without them knowing. If you can help me reach them again by RTing that would be wonderful.

Odd things seem to be happening - including people being automatically dropped as followers and some even automatically blocking me! If you’re one of these people, you may not see this message of course - so I’m asking my existing followers to help spread the word. Please share if you can.

55C = 131 F. Human beings begin to suffer cell loss and brain damage pretty swiftly at that temperature -- especially if they haven't gallons of safe water on hand. If you haven't yet read "Ministry of the Future" grab/download/listen ASAP to the first chapter of the #KimStanleyRobinson book.

The government is trying to create media space and a public interest in demonising asylum seekers. The media could resist by focusing on issues public actually care about: policy failures on energy poverty, housing, cost of living, NHS crisis, climate breakdown…

Reading and writing about evolution of church and state. So much about culture wars in the first millennium that rings true today. Augustine said, “Without justice, what are governments except great robberies?”

It's important to recognize that if human conflicts are created by the misuse of human intelligence, we can also utilize our intelligence to find ways and means to overcome them. When human intelligence and human goodness are used together, all our actions become constructive.

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” — Søren Kierkegaard

Imagine walking into a room where 100 people are all talking at once. One person notices you, stops talking, comes over, says hello & asks about you & you chat. Which person will you remember out of that 100? By being that person on social media, you can make a big impact.

This is so scary. I've seen people saying 'bring it on - I'm happy to pay $8 for my blue tick' - but it's not about that ...
It took me less than 25 minutes to set up a fake anonymous Apple ID using a VPN and disposable email, attach a masked debit card to it (with the address being Twitter's HQ), and get a verified account for a prominent figure. Just think what a nation-state or bad actor could do...
